Agreed! It's a bit tricky since the concept of origins and thus "same origin" for data: and blob: is a bit unclear still. I.e. browsers don't behave consistently. Definitely not between each other, and sometimes not internally within a browser IIRC. > 2. In the W3C where would we spec this? (Workers V2?) I care less strongly about this. There's also the synchronous message passing API which I'd still like to see added to the workers spec. / Jonas
